The Neighborhood Libraries Campaign Needs You

Libraries remind us of our potential for learning, growth and connection. But without generous support from people like you, Berkeley’s neighborhood libraries will struggle to meet the needs that make up the day-to-day library experience:

Adequate seating
Working technology
Well-lit reading areas
Accessibility and comfort

The Neighborhood Libraries Campaign is about more than tables and chairs—it’s about the people who depend on the library for everything from access to books and tools, to using the Internet, to learning how to read and write.

Can we count on your contribution today?

Your campaign gift can be tailored to meet your needs:

Monetary gifts via check or credit card
Pledges to be fulfilled over three years
Stock transfers
Bequests and trust gifts

Recognizing and Honoring Campaign Donors

By recognizing your generous gift at one of the four branches, we hope to inspire future generations of library patrons.

To discuss recognition opportunities, as well as the tax benefits of various kinds of gifts, contact us: Berkeley Public Library Foundation

“Our Branch Libraries are so very important because they are often the place where young children have their first library experience at story hour, where older kids flock after school to do homework, and where adults stroll in for the latest book or DVD. Branches are vital in the library’s link to the community.”
